Why is resilience integral to your patient's overall health?
Positive Childhood Experiences (PCEs) can help offset the health impacts of Adverse Childhood Experi
Positive Childhood Experiences refer to seven items studied by Bethell et al and are listed to the right. We know that higher ACEs scores are associated with poorer life long health. As providers, we have mostly been trained to treat the adverse health outcomes & try to prevent ACEs.
But what if we can do more?
Resilience University helps you integrate PCEs INTO your existing anticipatory guidance as well as giving you the structure and tools you need to offer focused guidance to facilitate more PCEs in your high risk families.
Researchers have identified four building blocks crucial for Healthy Outcomes from Positive Childhood Experiences (HOPE) This approach will help you foster resilience within your families, strengthening them from the inside out, by supporting their emotional health, strengthening their relational health and ensuring they have as many resources as they can to foster safe, stable and nurturing environments.
